Profile of leaders for wine tasting

Denis Gastin grew up in Australia's Central and Northeast Victorian wine regions and has had a lifelong interest in wine.  Assignments as an Australian trade official in China and Japan opened up new wine vistas for him and, after leaving the government service, he has written extensively about the wine industry in Asia, as well as about Australian wine and other wine topics. Among others, he has been a judge at the Japan Wine Competition since its inception, and is a contributor to many industry magazines and publisher of the Australian & New Zealand Grapegrower & Winemaker Magazine.

Atsuko Radcliffe is the first female winemaker in Japan, and the only Japanese winemaker to establish a wine brand in Australia – the name SMALL FOREST™ is a direct translation of her Japanese family name (Kobayashi) 小林. With some knowledge of sake as well, she brings a unique approach to winemaking. Her first vintage the 2014 Orange Shiraz has received numerous medals, including Silvers at the Orange Wine Show and the International Wine Challenge in London, and a Gold at the Sakura Award in Japan.
